And we jump right into April Randomness!

What do JFK's brain and Benny Hill's porn collection have in common? They both had to exist at one time, based on the observation of recorded history, yet neither can be proven to have ever existed, because there is presently no physical evidence.

There is a one-world religion. It's called Facebook.

Facebook is a phenomenal anomaly built around a contradiction; despite so much paranoia that the cyber-culture is becoming too intrusive, destroying our privacy, every waking hour millions of people log on and give away practically every secret they have!

Best Presidential quote in 40 years. Obama, to the banking CEOs: "Gentleman, remember that my administration is the only thing standing between you and the pitchforks."

Fast. Cheap. Good. You can have any two, but whichever two you choose, you'll have to settle for the opposite of the third.

In the uncut version of the 1946 Three Stooges comedy "Uncivil Warbirds," Moe Howard utters the word "ejaculate." And does a scene in blackface.

Another old comedy factoid: Bill Cosby once tried to buy up all the old "Our Gang" films, just so he could excise the characters Buckwheat, Stymie and Farina from the historical cinematic landscape. Now, doesn't that qualify as racist on some level?

As one grows older it becomes easier to smile, and easier to dislike a wider array of things.

Is it possible to be "rested to a frazzle?"

The biggest fallacy we make when we take steps to change our environment, is that we assume we'll be in better control of the new one.

The person who asks "How bad can it be?" is the one that everyone else will hate when "it" is over.
